Citation II

Manufactured by Cessna, the Citation II is a light jet designed with
corporate business person in mind. The 550 model of the Citation II was
developed directly from the Cessna Citation I in order to meet the need
for a larger jet with a higher seating capacity. As a result, the
Citation II has the same design philosophy as the Citation I, but the
larger fuselage allowed for the jet to seat up to 10 passengers. The
Citation II also has better fuel efficiency, a more powerful engine,
higher baggage capacity, and a longer range than the Citation I.

The Cessna Citation II had its maiden flight in January of 1977 and was
certified for commercial operation the following year. The conditions of
the certification stipulate that the Citation II always be operated by
two pilots. Soon after its debut, the Citation II proved to be very
popular. In fact, the U.S. Customs & Border Protection bought ten of
these jets.

Over the years several variations of the Cessna Citation II have been
developed and manufactured. The Citation II/SP is also a direct
descendant of the Citation I/SP which was altered to meet certification
requirements for single pilot operations and also in order to be a
turboprop market competitor. Several Citation T-47 models were bought
and used by the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps, who renamed it the Model 552
T-47A. Modifications to this model include the addition of several radar
consoles, shortened wings, and JT15D5 engines. This model of the
Citation II was mainly used to train F-14 Tomcat Radar Intercept
Officers, A-6 Intruder Bombardier and Navigators, and even F/A-18D
Hornet Weapon Systems Officers. However, the Citation S/II and the
Citation Bravo models were designed and geared once again towards the
traveling business person. The S/II increased the Citation’s seating
capacity to 11, while the Bravo model implemented newer technology. A
trailing link configuration of landing gear was used to ensure smoother
riding, the cockpit was upgraded to a Honeywell Primus 1000, and the
entire jet is powered by a Pratt & Whitney Canada engine.

The Cessna Citation II is a very comfortable and efficient way to
travel. Catering to and fulfilling the needs of professionals on the go
is one of the things a Citation II does best. With over 34 years of
experience in the skies, a Cessna Citation II is a great choice of
charter jet.
